How to build one in your basement

Abstract

This report describes my successful project to build a working
reproduction of the 1964 prototype for the Block I Apollo Guidance
Computer. The AGC is the flight computer for the Apollo moon landings,
with one unit in the command module and one in the LEM.

I built
it in my basement. It took me 4 years.

If you like, you can
build one too. It will take you less time, and yours will be better
than mine.
